Dr Richard Morgan is a male General Dentist.

Richard was born on the coast of South West Wales. A scholarship to St Edward’s Oxford was followed by reading Music at University College Cardiff under Alun Hoddinott, and as an organ scholar at Llandaff Cathedral.

A change to the Sciences followed and he studied Dentistry at the Welsh National School of Medicine where he attained his Dental Degree. He obtained his Surgery Diploma Licence from the Royal College of Surgeons England in the same year.

After employment in an Oxford/Harley Street practice he joined a cosmetic crown and bridge practice in Maidenhead Berkshire with Australian colleagues. Europe followed with a move to Holland where he worked for a Health Community Clinic in The Hague whilst learning Dutch, and subsequently with the establishment of a successful private multi-dentist practice which included an excellent Australian assistant dentist.

Transferring his practice to Dutch colleagues allowed funding for further study and he graduated with a Master of Medical Law from the University of Wales, a Diploma in Accounting and Management from the Association of Certified Accountants and an advanced post graduate MGDS Clinical Diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons.

This led to employment within the UK Dental Practice Board as a regional dental officer which included the monitoring of dentists and practices for regulatory compliance and quality.

A millennium moment led him to Fremantle Australia working for the Metropolitan Dental Health Service with subsequent posts throughout Western Australia, including Aboriginal communities.

Later he was offered the post of a Lead Clinician in Wales and returned for some years to lead this team.

A return to Australia led to the purchase of an elderly dental practice for refurbishment in the Wheatbelt at Wongan Hills where he is now a retired Shire Councillor and enjoys being part of a friendly rural community.
